DETERMINING BOUNDARY LINES OF USE ZONES
20 Where the position of the boundary line of a use zone or any boundary line as shown on Zoning Maps ZM-2 and ZM-17, as shown on any zone map is not coincident with the limit of a street, but parallel thereto, and the distance from such street line is not indicated, such boundary line shall follow the rear lot lines of the properties fronting on such street as such lines exist at the date of the coming into effect of this by-law; excepting that where a rear lot line is at a greater distance than one hundred and fifty (150) feet from such street line, the boundary line shall be deemed to be a distance of one hundred and twenty (120) feet therefrom, provided that this exception shall not apply to residential zones.
20A Upon the closing of a street or portion of a street to public use, the land comprising such former street or portion of such street shall be zoned as follows:
(a) where the use zone of the abutting lands are the same, the land comprising the former street shall have the same zoning as the abutting lands; (b) where the use zone of the abutting lands are different, the center line of the former street shall be the boundary line and the lands on either side of the boundary line shall have the same zoning as the abutting lands;
21 Where a zone map indicates that the permissible uses of lots fronting on intersecting streets are not the same, the use permissible for a corner lot shall be the same as that applicable to the street upon which the proposed building or other use is intended to front, regardless of the other unless the zone map distinctly shows it otherwise.
21A Where the boundary line of a use zone is coincident with a shoreline, the boundary line will follow any change in the shoreline.
Halifax Peninsula Land Use By-law Page 44
21B Notwithstanding Subsection 21A, the boundary of the WA Zone is deemed to coincide with the Shoreline of the Northwest Arm as defined in Section 16L. (RC-May 1/07;E-Jul 21/07)
SPECIAL BUILDING LINE
22(1) A building line plan shall form part of this by-law and shall be annexed hereto.

(a) Where an existing building protrudes through a View Plane, a new building may be erected and may protrude through the View Plane, provided such new building or structure shall not enlarge upon the existing protrusion through the View Plane when viewed: (i) in the case of View Planes 1, 3 and 5 from viewing position B; (ii) in the case of View Planes 2, 4, 7, 8 and 10 from viewing position C; (iii) in the case of View Plane 9 from viewing position E; and (iv) in the case of view Plane 6 from viewing position R.
ZONES WITHIN VIEW PLANES
25(1) The properties and portions of properties in use zones under a view plane shall form new use zones to be known as View Zones. The View Zones shall have the letter "V" added to the use zone designation applicable to the property at the time of the adoption of the view planes amendment (i.e., R-1 Zone becomes R-1-V Zone; C-2 Zone becomes C-2-V Zone; P Zone becomes P-V Zone; etc.). The requirements of a View Zone shall be identical to its previous use zone requirements with the additional provision that a building or structure on the land shall not protrude through any View Plane.
